Keep TO the Right.

There is q curious disregard to the
rights of others exhibited in ore way
upon the streets that is almost uni
versal, and it's effects are seen in the
constant jostling received while try
ing to make way through a crowd.
1t is the neglect of the rule to keep
to the right of the walk as far as pos
sible, and not zigzag across this way
and that, leaving the future course
an absolute uncertainty to those
coming from the opposite direction.
A larger proportion of women break
this rule than of men, and perhaps
this is one reasons why days shop
ping causes such utter WEAKNESS.
almost to exhaustion Sometimes
three or four will spread out across
the walk, and with grenadier as.
pect, won't-give-an-inch look, march
the length of square, compelling
everybody to dodge one way or the
other in order to avoid being run
over. If everybody would keep to
the right the "jams and jostles"
which are so common upon the street
might easily beavoided. Then add to
this rule another, to always give a
little room instead of Selling all that
can be had through superior weight
or energy of push, and walking would
become far less wearisome.- Toledo

How To Live a Fun Century.

Professor Humphry, of Cambridge
has prepared series of tables which
contain some interesting information
about centenarians. Offifty-two per-
sons whom he mentions, at least elev-
en-twe males and nine females
actually attained the age of 100.
Others attained very nearly the hun
bred years. Only one Of the per-
sons reached l08 years, while one
died at the alleged age of LOG.
Twelve of the fifty two gentleman
ians were discovered to have been
the eldestchildren of their parents.
This fact, adds Mr.. Humphry, does
not agree with popular notions that
first children inherit feebleness of
constitution, nor with the opinion of
racing stables, which is decidedly
against the idea that "firstlings" are
to be depended on for good perform
ance on the course. The gentleman
ians generally regarded were of
spare build. Gout and rheumatism
were, as rule, absent. at seems"
says Professor Humphry, "that the
frame which is destined to great age
needs no such prophy laetics, and en-
genders none of the peccant humors
for which the finger joints las in gout)
may fin d vent"
OF the fifty-two aged people, TWEEN
ty-four only had no teeth, the aver
age number of teeth remaining be-
ing four or five. Long hou.s of
sleep were notable among these old
people, the period of repose averag-
ing nine hours; while out of door
exercise in plenty and early rising
are to be no ted among the factors of
a prolonged life. One of the CEN
tenarians "drank to excess on festive
occasions )" another was free beer
drinker," and drank like fish dur
ing his whole life." Twelve had been
total abstainers for life, or nearly so,
and mostly "small meat eaters. p
